“Yes. I hope that no matter where you go and how high you fly, you’ll always remember that there’s a man named Edwin here, waiting for you.”
These words came from the mouth of Edwin Anderson. If word of this got out, those who knew him would think that it was a prank, because the young master of the Anderson family was never one to back down.
In the past, even Edwin himself probably never thought that he would compromise to this extent because of someone or something.
However, Caroline was different. Although he wanted to tie her to his side all the time and make her only see him.
However, it was precisely because Caroline was so important to him that he could not ignore her wishes and the heavy burden on her.
Caroline was destined to soar in the sky. He couldn’t break her wings just because of his own selfishness. He could only think of ways to help her with his own abilities. Unfortunately, even this request couldn’t be fulfilled because Caroline hadn’t completely opened her heart to him yet.
Edwin didn’t want to experience the torment of waiting outside the villa that night again, so he could only convince himself to take a step back and approach her from a more roundabout way.
Because Song Jingchen didn’t want his wife to worry, everyone couldn’t help but look at her.
Shen Yijia didn’t understand. She walked straight to Song Jingchen’s side and thought for a moment before kneeling down.

Song Jingchen shook his head and comforted her. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Shen Yijia frowned. Thinking that the most important thing now was to overturn the case, she could only suppress her worries for the time being.
The palace servants, who had long been tactful, brought over two armchairs. The emperor and Empress Dowager Wei sat down one after another.
“Emperor, you can start the interrogation,” Empress Dowager Wei reminded him.
At this point, there were still many commoners watching. The emperor knew that he had no choice but to say in a low voice, “Madam Zhou, you said that Lord An Le was framed. What evidence do you have?”
Whether it was the Song family or the other officials who were dealt with together, they were all implicated in Lord An Le’s rebellion. As long as Lord An Le was proven innocent, the others would naturally be innocent.
“My full name is Zhou Xiu. I was once an embroiderer in the capital.” The mute woman kowtowed. “At that time, everyone called me Madam Zhou. If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, you can call a few old women up to ask. I think some people still remember me.”
“No one wants to know this.” the emperor thought.
Impatient as he was, the emperor waved his hand for Lin Mu to do it.
There were so many commoners outside the palace gate. Lin Mu quickly returned with two old women who were about the same age as the mute woman.
In order to avoid any suspicion of collusion, he had casually chosen the two old women from the back of the crowd. He could ensure that they did not hear the mute woman’s words just now.
When the two old women were brought up, they looked confused. They knelt down in fear and did not dare to look up. “Greetings, Your Majesties..”
